  • Notes on Psalms 2015 Edition Dr
    Notes on Psalms 2015 Edition Dr. Thomas L. Constable Introduction TITLE The title of this book in the Hebrew Bible is Tehillim, which means "praise songs." The title adopted by the Septuagint translators for their Greek version was Psalmoi meaning "songs to the accompaniment of a stringed instrument." This Greek word translates the Hebrew word mizmor that occurs in the titles of 57 of the psalms. In time the Greek word psalmoi came to mean "songs of praise" without reference to stringed accompaniment. The English translators transliterated the Greek title resulting in the title "Psalms" in English Bibles. WRITERS The texts of the individual psalms do not usually indicate who wrote them. Psalm 72:20 seems to be an exception, but this verse was probably an early editorial addition, referring to the preceding collection of Davidic psalms, of which Psalm 72 was the last.1 However, some of the titles of the individual psalms do contain information about the writers. The titles occur in English versions after the heading (e.g., "Psalm 1") and before the first verse. They were usually the first verse in the Hebrew Bible. Consequently the numbering of the verses in the Hebrew and English Bibles is often different, the first verse in the Septuagint and English texts usually being the second verse in the Hebrew text, when the psalm has a title. ". there is considerable circumstantial evidence that the psalm titles were later additions."2 However, one should not understand this statement to mean that they are not inspired. As with some of the added and updated material in the historical books, the Holy Spirit evidently led editors to add material that the original writer did not include.

  • PSALMS 142 and 143
    PSALMS 142 and 143 This Maskil, Psalm 142, is written for our instruction. It teaches us how to order our prayer to Yahweh in times of distress. Such instruction is among the most needful, practical, and effectual parts of our spiritual education. He who has learned how to pray has been taught the most useful of the arts and sciences. William Thompson gives a firsthand account of "the cave" thought to be David's refuge: Leaving our horses in charge of some Arabs, and taking one for our guide, we started for the cave now known as Mughâret Khureitûn, which is believed to be the cave Adullam, having a fearful gorge below, gigantic cliffs above, and the path winding along a narrow shelf of the rock. At length, from a great rock hanging on the edge of the cliff, we entered by a long leap a low window which opened into the perpendicular face of the cliff. We were then within the traditional hold of David, and, creeping half doubled through a narrow crevice for a few rods, we stood beneath the dark vault of the first grand chamber of this mysterious and oppressive cavern. Our whole collection of lights did little more than make the damp darkness visible. After groping about as long as we had time to spare, we returned to the light of day, fully convinced that, with David and his lion-hearted followers inside, all the strength of Israel under Saul could not have forced an entrance--would not have even attempted it. Psalm 142 Maskil of David, when he was in the cave.

  • “Still Crying in a Cave”: Psalm
    Wheelersburg Baptist Church 7/8/07 Brad Brandt Psalm 142 “Still Crying in a Cave” ** Main Idea: While crying in a cave in Psalm 142 David verbalized four thoughts which he expressed to God. We can learn from David how to respond to our ‘cave experiences.’ I. David tells us what he did (1-2). A. He asked Yahweh for mercy. B. He told Yahweh his predicament. II. David tells us how he felt (3-4). A. He felt weak. B. He felt vulnerable. C. He felt alone. III. David tells us what he knew (5-6). A. He was desperate. B. God is sufficient. 1. Make sure Yahweh is your refuge. 2. Make sure Yahweh is your portion. IV. David tells us what he wanted (7). A. He desired to be set free. B. He desired to praise Yahweh’s name. C. He desired to see Yahweh’s people gather together. Take another look: What do we see in this cave experience? 1. This psalm teaches us about Christ. 2. This psalm teaches us about our desperate need for Christ. A promise is an amazing thing. When someone makes a promise to you, they are using words to communicate intended action, to tell you what will or will not happen. And when God makes a promise that intended action is as good as done! “I will never leave you,” God said in Hebrews 13:5. And He meant it. “I am going to prepare a place for you,” Jesus said in John 14:2, followed by this announcement in verse 3, “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.” You will be with me forever! What an astounding promise! And ponder these words that John heard from the heavenly throne in Revelation 21:4, “He will wipe every tear from their eyes.

Most of all; discuss not only the futileness of this effort but the needlessness of it. 7. What a tremendous thought!

  • Psalms Psalm
    Cultivate - PSALMS PSALM 126: We now come to the seventh of the "Songs of Ascent," a lovely group of Psalms that God's people would sing and pray together as they journeyed up to Jerusalem. Here in this Psalm they are praying for the day when the Lord would "restore the fortunes" of God's people (vs.1,4). 126 is a prayer for spiritual revival and reawakening. The first half is all happiness and joy, remembering how God answered this prayer once. But now that's just a memory... like a dream. They need to be renewed again. So they call out to God once more: transform, restore, deliver us again. Don't you think this is a prayer that God's people could stand to sing and pray today? Pray it this week. We'll pray it together on Sunday. God is here inviting such prayer; he's even putting the very words in our mouths. PSALM 127: This is now the eighth of the "Songs of Ascent," which God's people would sing on their procession up to the temple. We've seen that Zion / Jerusalem / The House of the Lord are all common themes in these Psalms. But the "house" that Psalm 127 refers to (in v.1) is that of a dwelling for a family. 127 speaks plainly and clearly to our anxiety-ridden thirst for success. How can anything be strong or successful or sufficient or secure... if it does not come from the Lord? Without the blessing of the Lord, our lives will come to nothing.

  • Psalm Extracts
    Longman’s Charity ~ Psalms A Novel about Landscape and Childhood, Sanity and Abuse, Truth and Redemption Paul Brazier The extracts from the psalms that open each chapter were based, initially, on existing translations, however I then re-translated by going back to the original Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible: The Septuagint, from the late 2nd century BC. Prologue—A Welcoming Κύριε, μὴ τῷ θυμῷ σου ἐλέγξῃς με “Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am weak; μηδὲ τῇ ὀργῇ σου παιδεύσῃς με. O Lord, heal me, for my very bones are troubled.” PSALM 6 vv. 2 PSALM 6:2 PART ONE THE LAND & THE CHILD ἰδοὺ γὰρ ἐν ἀνομίαις συνελήμφθην, καὶ ἐν ἁμαρτίαις “Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin my ἐκίσσησέν με ἡ μήτηρ μου. mother did conceive me.” PSALM 50 (51) vv. 5 PSALM 51:5 Chapter 1 καὶ ἔστησεν αὐτὴν τῷ Ιακωβ εἰς πρόσταγμα καὶ τῷ “He sends the springs into the valleys, they flow among Ισραηλ διαθήκην αἰώνιον λέγων Σοὶ δώσω τὴν γῆν the hills. They give drink to every beast of the field . Χανααν σχοίνισμα κληρονομίας ὑμῶν ... He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, and ἐξανατέλλων χόρτον τοῖς κτήνεσιν καὶ χλόην τῇ vegetation for man, that he may bring forth food from δουλείᾳ τῶν ἀνθρώπων τοῦ ἐξαγαγεῖν ἄρτον ἐκ τῆς the earth...” γῆς.

  • Exegesis of the Psalms “Selah”
    Notes ! 147 BIBLE STUDY METHODS: PSALMS The Psalms are emotional. At times, God speaks too, but most of what we read are man’s words directed toward heaven. All these words are completely inspired by God. Our issue is to determine how they function as God’s Word for us. The Psalms are not: • doctrinal teaching - No! • biblical commands on our behavior - No! • illustrations of biblical principles - No! They provide examples of how people expressed themselves to God (rightly or wrongly). They give us pause to think about (1) God, and (2) our relationships to God. They ask us to consider the “ways of God.” Exegesis of the Psalms Separate them by types. Understand their different forms and their different functions. The New Testament contains 287 Old Testament quotes. 116 are from Psalms. The 150 Psalms were written over a period of about 1000 years. Moses wrote Psalm 90 in 1400B.C. Ezra wrote Psalm 1 and Psalm 119 about 444 B.C. Our task is to view the Psalms through the lens of Salvation History. “Selah” The Psalms are poetry and songs. The music is lost to us. “Selah” was intended to signal a musical pause. It’s not necessary to read it out loud. It’s a signal to pause and meditate. Though the Psalms are different from each other, they all emphasize the spirit of the Law, not the letter. Do not use them to form doctrines, independent of New Testament writings. The Psalms are emotional poetry. They often exaggerate through the emotions of their writers. The language is picturesque.

  • David's Prayer in the Cave
    Sermon #2282 Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit 1 DAVID’S PRAYER IN THE CAVE NO. 2282 A SERMON INTENDED FOR READING ON LORD’S-DAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1892 DELIVERED BY C. H. SPURGEON AT THE METROPOLITAN TABERNACLE, NEWINGTON ON LORD’S-DAY EVENING, MAY 18, 1890 “Maschil of David; A Prayer when he was in the cave.” Title of Psalm 142 “A PRAYER when he was in the cave.” David did pray when he was in the cave. If he had prayed half as much when he was in the palace as he did when he was in the cave, it would have been better for him. But alas! when he was king, we find him rising from his bed in the evening, and looking from the roof of the house, and falling into temptation. If he had been looking up to heaven, if his heart bad been in communion with God, he might never have committed that great crime which has so deeply stained his whole character. “A prayer when he was in the cave.” God will hear prayer on land, and on the sea, and even under the sea. I remember a brother, when in prayer, making use of that last expression. Somebody who was at the prayer meeting was rather astonished at it and asked, “How would God hear prayer under the sea?” On inquiry, we found out that the man who uttered those words was a diver, and often went down to the bottom of the sea after wrecks, and he said that he had held communion with God while he had been at work in the depths of the ocean.
